The four languages under investigation Ter Sámi, Kildin Sámi, Akkala Sámi and Skolt Sámi belong to the East-Sámi subgroup. Sámi is a branch of the Uralic language family. All Sámi languages are fairly similar in grammatical structure and lexicon. They form a dialect chain stretching from central and northern Scandinavia to the eastern tip of the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia.
